lol, since I'm in college I have plenty of stuff to to do for school and I've used my toilet time efficiently by reading stuff for class, studying, and doing my homework. What is the "loo" stand for...
Yea I just have to get through finals then I'm home free! For next semester, I'm downgrading from an eight person suite to a 4 person suite. I can't stand the constant partying even though the...
Oh! Thank you, dbab and 7Lil. You guys saved me a whole lot of worrying (phew). Keri, I am in the same situation that you were in during college, except that I live in a "suite" and the bathroom is...
Yes, I try to go mostly when I feel bloated, gaseous and uncomfortable, but I also try to go every time after I eat even if I don't feel the urge. Miraculously something always comes out after a meal...
Haha.... I was going to buy it along with all the other things, but your piece of advice in the other thread of trying medications one at a time saved me. Thanks for the update on the Midol, Keri....
Haha, yea college is a real money drainer, but I managed to grab some of the stuff on my list. I bought the gas-x, "extra strength" acidophilus, and Equalactin(It's still 3.99). I'm taking Keri's...

d'oh i just started eating bananas because i thought it would help, but i guess not. About soy milk and yogurt: My school provides soy milk and lactaid and i actually like the taste of soy milk and i...
I just looked up it in a dictionary to find out the spelling. Yes, I meant "hemmorhages". Thank you for the correction, Keriamon. The doctor said they were minor ones, so I'm guessing the hemmorhages...
i'm not an avid water drinker, so i think drinking more water is a must even if i didn't have this problem. Also I don't plan to visit a different doctor b/c it will be the same situation all over...
sorry for replying for so late, i can only use the computer at my library right now because i don't have access to the one in my dorm at the moment. yea..medications that i have been on are: 1....
sorry i had this for so long that this will turn out to be somewhat of a short story because i want to explain all of it. Here goes... it all started when i first went to college about 2 years ago...
